According to oldtime collie-lovers, they have bred out the dog's brains, made it a snappish, treacherous fashion-plate fit for nothing but mincing around a show ring. One morning last week Trainer Michael Kennedy took Champion Lucason out to groom him for a show at Englewood next day. Mrs. Ilch houses her 60-odd collies Beside the North Shrewsbury River.
